Smiling Woman and Other Short Horror Films from Alex Magaña: "Last Halloween I entered an under 3 minute horror short film contest. I lost, but since it's release, my short "Smiling Woman" has passed 2 million views on YouTube! Seeing the way people have reacted to it and the positive feed back inspired me to make more horror short films. It's been tough with the quarantine and Covid-19 but I've been finding creative ways to work and stay safe, such as filming out in the woods where we'd be away from people, writing scripts with a small cast and keeping to a 2-3 person crew. Starting July 15th, I have released an under 3 minute horror short film every Wednesday and will continue to do so.
I've been shooting skits ever since my dad let me use his camcorder as a teenager. I went to film school in Washington State and after...

Review by Stephen Tronicek
Alex Magaña’s What Love Looks Like looks like an ambitious project that doesn’t quite come together. Consisting of five stories of love in L.A., the film tasks itself with exploring the thematic territory of what causes us to fall in love, what causes us to get over it and the grey area in between.
That’s a difficult task. The writer of modern romantic comedies, Richard Curtis tried to pull it off in Love Actually and (through these subjective eyes) failed miserably. That Magaña and his team pull at least one or two halfway decent stories out of it is impressive. The best of these five stories is a liar revealed story between Calvin (Connor Wilkins) and Summer (Jamie Shelnitz). After a one night stand, Calvin plays the jerk and the pair leave each other’s lives…until an app brings them back together.
